    House tip-in book

    February 2, 2008 - By 



    I put together a house theme book with the tip-ins I received from a swap on ABC altered book club plus a couple pages of my own just for fun.

    The image on the cover is the Hamm house which has been torn down. I got a book in the free bin at the library. It tell the stories of buildings and places in Minnesota that have been lost due to “progress”. I’m not entirely sure but I think the Hamm family is one in the same as the Hamm’s beer company…which is also gone. Although, I still can remember the theme song as well as Hamm’s bear from the TV ads…I may be aging myself with that declaration.

    Cutest thing ever…

    February 1, 2008 - By 

    Ok so I’m a little bias…
    My kiddo will be 8 on Monday. Tonight while eating his chicken tenders he shouts “I lost my tooth!” What..really…where did it go? We got out the flashlight…found lots of crumbs…a few stray wads of paper but no tooth. We are pretty sure it went down the hatch with a bite of chicken.

    This is his solution to the problem.

    More Sewing

    January 30, 2008 - By 

    I’ve been doing more sewing lately than art! Some might argue that sewing is an art form itself but it just feels a bit like work to me. I love to see the end result but I hate the pesky things like measuring, pinning, hand stitching. You get the picture. These are the 2 items I completed today. I’m pretty sure my kiddo won’t see my blog so I feel this is safe to share. It’s a pillow I made from a t-shirt I bought that likely wouldn’t have fit him until he has outgrown his Mario obsession…one can only hope.

    The other is a set of placemats for our kitchen table. We are trying to save it from some of the abuse it gets…it’s only 3 years old and already has that “distressed look”.
